Install Windows friend. Lincucks are just going to mock you. They know that their shitty OS has no driver support. They like it that way.

>>56754615
> If you are replacing an old Nvidia graphics card with a new Nvidia graphics card it should work with the existing graphics card driver, otherwise uninstall the existing graphics card driver before you put in the new graphics card, then after you boot with the new graphics card open the Additional Drivers utility (Dash -> Additional Drivers) and install the proprietary graphics driver from there.

have some stale pasta

Install Gentoo

>>56754647
I reinstalled Ubuntu, performance is the same with new noveau and NVidia drivers.

>>56754615
why do you need a really powerful GPU for linux? if people used linux for gaming thatd be a different story. but nobody does use linux for gaming. so im confused why you need the latest meme card.

>>56754615
Open driver vs closed? Open is built in, but doesn't support newer cards right away afaik. Could try to install the closed one, or use the restricted drivers thing. I'm not 100% sure this will work, haven't used Ubuntu in years.

>>56754667
Are you sure the choppy feeling isn't because you forgot to set the refresh rate to what you're normally used to?

>>56754669

I bought it because the 260 was a space heater that was ready to fail. Didn't think a year+ old budget card was going to be too recent for support.

>>56754675
Tried both. The graphical lag is the same.

>>56754643
Listen to this OP. Windows just works. Stop listening to /g/ and get shit done. Life it too short to hack drivers together every time you upgrade something on your pc.

>>56754701
Time to try out debian or gentoo.

lol I have a 950 and it runs great under Windows 10. Too bad you had to be a special snowflake OP. I'm sure Stallman is proud of you or something.

>>56754615
Don't listen to these Wincucks, OP. Try this, dig out one of your old hard drives and install Ubuntu freshly on that with the 950 in your machine and see if it runs the way you expect. If it doesn't, you might have a bum card. If does run good, you know something messed up in your config on the original installation.

Sometimes changing video cards with Ubuntu can cause weird issues like this. That's just a part of it but don't give up and don't listen to the haters.

download drivers off nvidia

GET THE LATEST DRIVERS DUMBFUCK WINTROLL

>windows

>>56754669
Well I wouldn't put it past an Ubuntu user to actually require it, but maybe they want to do GPGPU

Just fuck off, Microsoft, you've lost. Get over it. For fuck's sake, I've never seen so much crying and butthurt from one goddamn company over their complete and total FAILURE.

Make a USB linux boot disk and see if you get the same.

OP here

Put the card in my roommates computer running windows 7 to confirm it works. It does. I'm going to try the newest ubuntu instead of 16.04 LTS.

>>56755141
>the card isn't fucked
lol oh wow, I really didn't know how bad linux was until this thread. Good thing I'm on windows 10.

You're running linux. Why the fuck would you even care about performance?

It's like adding current gen CPU to 1990's Casio calculator. Total fucking waste.

When's ubuntu gon get good drivers

My 280x suffers under linux

Is your life that void of content that you need to laugh at what other people use? Seriously? That's quite sad... hopefully you'll recognise that one day.

OP back again.

I got 16.10 installed, added the latest driver PPA and got performance back to acceptable levels. Still performs on par with or worse than the 260, but at least it isn't running hot and making tons of noise in the case.

Mission accomplished, kinda. Thanks googles.

>>56760422
>I get decade old performance out of my new card, but that is alright
hahahahahhaa Jesus Christ lincucks.

>>56755141
You should use a year-old mid-range card instead of the GTX 950. Maybe also try the most popular Debian-based desktop distribution instead of Ubuntu. And if you're looking for good performance, try the latest proprietary nvidia drivers instead of the most recent drivers available from the nvidia website.

I'm an idiot. Didn't realize you could install the pre-release version of Ubuntu. I guess I should know this because I run stretch which is the upcoming version of Debian.

Really funny.
